About this webinar

Sarah highlights the resources, capabilities and skills that are needed to make an impact and to be able to understand and demonstrate the difference research or knowledge makes to people and communities.

The session explores:

  • The importance of a vision for impact – at institution, unit and project levels
  • Strategies for making impact
  • The support needed to make and measure impact
  • Approaches to understanding and tracking impact
  • Systems for working well with impact

This session includes a mix of concepts and practical approaches to get you started on your own impact tracking journey and to make the case for the resources needed to do this work well.

We hope you will leave with ideas and inspiration for contributing to an impact-literate culture that enables everyone to showcase how they are making a difference.
